Persona 3 is Brutally average but fun
Before i write anything you do not have to play the other Persona Psone games, or the other Shin Megami Tensei games to understand this, as it is completly stand alone and seperate.
Anyway, as i write this, i am quite a bit through the game and know enough to write this review at least
Atlus USA, has brought accross a VERY good RPG game, well in Japan Persona 3 Fes Episode Aegis is out.. which continues this game, and you can import a few things over from your save game, provided you understand what they are..
Hmm.. like equipment i think.. so watch what you go into battle with against .. *spoiler*
Anyway, Persona 3 is a very Anime inspired game
It contains a long anime opening at the start, introducing to the Nameless Main character which you can name yourself, as you step off the train at the \"Dark Hour\"(unknown at first) you can see it is really something special, and lol.. he stays in the Gurls dorm.
Moving on the Graphics are great, and so is the music.
You play the role of a 11th Grader, in High school, you attend school during the day, and at night, well late at night you go to \"spoiler\" to battle.
(makes me wonder if the poor guy ever sleeps O_O)
The game has a social link system, as you make friends and maintain the relationships, you abilitys to create better and more powerful Persona come into play, you can join clubs, make friends, hang out with friends, and have fun =]
Also, you can have a girlfriend in this game, its a long drawn out process but yes you can even date on this game
my only gripe with the game is, its at school but its not really school.
Ugh.. explaining is difficult but.
Your day is Morning, Afternoon, Lunchtime, Evening.
When going to school on typical days you have a dialogue with a random person or over hearing something, then the game can skip completly to after school, making the exploring options available? but wheres my lessons? why do we only get them on the odd day? Lol..
The lessons are a joke too, its basically a teacher reading something briefly, you on once in a blue moon can answer a question, then its school over -_-.
Anyway, on a whole this game has a whole bunch of pre programmes events, and some excellent set pieces thus far.. but you can only help but think sometimes that they just want you in the tower more then school but meh
I would reccomend this to anyone but not for 60 bucks.. Atlus games go rare sure, but 60 bucks....err... well i paid that much for it from here but meh i\'ve played better
